What happens after the trigger fires?

Runs, failures and approvals on the card.

01Every firing is a run

When a trigger fires, the engine walks the rail and records a run with one step per node it touched. Runs opens that history for the selected flow, newest first, so you can see exactly which branch a particular booking took and where it stopped.

02When a step fails

A failed step never quietly retries itself: a second email is a second email, and repeating a step that changed something real is worse than reporting the failure. The step’s failure route decides what happens instead: nothing, or a move to a stage you named.

03Approvals live on the card

An Approval step holds the run until a person decides, and the ask sits on the item’s own card at that stage. Approve or decline resumes the branch from where it stopped; the first decision wins and stands.

04Waits

A Wait control holds the run for a set duration or until a date on the item. Nothing is lost while it waits. The run is parked and picked up again when its time arrives.
